Corena Hits $1 Million Donation Milestone — And Doubles It Through Revolving Fund

April 28, 2026 by Corena Team

Corena recently celebrated two key funding milestones in April 2026, showcasing the real, growing impact of community generosity.

An incredible $1,001,860.43 has been donated by ordinary yet extraordinary Australians to
provide interest-free loans that fund climate action projects for non-profit community
organisations. These projects enable organisations to cut their carbon emissions and reduce long-term operating costs.

What makes this milestone even more remarkable is Corena’s unique revolving fund model. That $1 million in donations has financed over $2,003,268.40 in total project loans. As loans are repaid into Corena’s fund, at least 80% of repayments are recycled to finance further climate action projects, meaning the impact of every donation grows over time.

This phenomenal result is only possible because of Corena’s remarkable community of donors, both everyday supporters and major donors, who see Corena as a tangible way to reduce carbon emissions immediately and for many years into the future.
